Reality Needs Better Advertising

It’s late October and here in the Northwest we’ve had temps in the mid 60’s. The weather has been strange and extreme all over the place. This cliamte change really has me worried.

“Stop worrying. It’s not climate change, think of as a seasonal adjustment.” Wiley the court jester piped up. “ Instead of denying it or speak of it as doom and gloom we need to look at the upside of global warming. Two words: winter picnics. Take advantage of it.”

“You sound like an advertising agent.”

“Hey if spin is good enough for the tabacco industry and the government, it’s good enough for the denial of science.” Wiley proudly nodded. 

“I don’t know why I bother talking to you. It’s like listening to Michele Bachman or Rush Limbaugh.” I replied.

“Hey, take that back. I’m sardonic not crazy.” 

The Court Jester

The scandal to hit the last Miss America Pageant wasn’t on the stage but in the minds of those disappointed with multi- culturalism. Despite PC racism is still a persistent problem. Like a bad rash it just won’t go away.

It’s worse than that says the Court fool. The one voice in a medieval court who dared to speak the truth. This fool doles it out with scathing sarcasm.

But you don’t understand, the pageant is suppose to celebrate and glorify beautiful women. Women who are pure, wholesome and white. Multi-culturism is just a pretty word for minorities. If they would just sit down and shut up, we won’t have to confront our ugly distaste for people who are, you know- different. How dare these uppity foreigners think just because they were born and raised in this country they’re American. They’re not- look at her- dark skinned, a weird sounding name you can’t pronounce, it’s un-American.

We haven’t heard the last of the Jester and his jibes.
